things i like (that no one else does)

Okay. I know everyone feels like this at some point in their lives, or for their entire lives. You fall in like with something. You can’t get enough of it. You share it with your best friend, your mom, your dog, and no one is as interested as you are. This is pretty common in my life, and I’d like to share some of my favorite things (that no one else likes) with you.

KATHERINE HEIGL// People really don’t like Izzie Stevens. Oh, what’s that? You LOVED Izzie, but you HATE Katherine? Nope. Sorry. They’re a package deal. Katherine Heigl rescues dogs, has two beautiful children, and is still married to her husband. Her mom is her manager (still), and she makes cute movies. 27 Dresses wasn’t trying to be The Black Swan, folks. I encourage everyone to catch either the 1996 Disney Channel classic, Wish Upon A Star, or the 2003 Hallmark finest, Love Comes Softly, in hopes that their opinions would be altered.

SEATTLE’S BEST COFFEE// Everyone is on The Starbucks Train or The Coffee Bean Train or The Peet’s Train (which I also love), and poor Seattle’s Best is stuck at the caboose. I understand that Starbucks and Seattle’s Best are owned by the same company. Let me say that again: People who like to say Starbucks is better, they are owned by the same company. Get it? My main reason for loving Seattle’s Best is their gingerbread latte (another thing that a lot of people hate). They put a little gingerbread man on top of the whipped cream. Adorable!

ONCE UPON A TIME// Admittedly, I have a friend with me on this. A SINGLE FRIEND. I don’t understand! Every week is a fairytale on this show! It’s good vs. evil. It’s a tale as old as time. Literally, Belle is on the show. Why aren’t people (my friends) watching? Remember how people went ga-ga over Lost? Well, it’s the same creators! Ahhh, I don’t know. I love it. I love Mary Margaret’s pixie cut and Rumpelstiltskin’s odd romance with Belle. Oh, and don’t even get me started on Hook. Hello, hunk! You should check it out, but you probably won’t and that’s okay. Fyi, I recap this show for Lydia Mag.

CROCS// I’ve had my fair share of Crocs in my life. I even had a couple of Mickey charms that went in the little holes on the top. People out there hate crocs. Why?! They’re like flip flops with more support. They feel like slippers. I’m behind them 100%.

THIS MEANS WAR// The movie. Everyone hated this movie. I really liked it. It was funny and cute and had action. Plus, Chelsea Handler and Tom Hardy in the same movie? Sign me up. I get that it has issues, but let’s not all pretend that we didn’t go around quoting Congo before it suddenly became uncool. “Amy, good mother.” “Stop eating my sesame cake!”

BOARD GAMES// Okay, people like these, but usually not enough people like them to be able to play one. Whyyyyyyyy?! Scattergories, I miss you! I will say that if I sound depressed on the phone, my mom will play online scrabble with me. I’ve gotten really good at fake tears. I mean…
